Nuisance abatement Injunctloa snlt
against proprietors and real estate ewoers
oT two disorderly housea were Issued by
Judge Howard Kennedy yesterday, when
be eustalned all the contentions of the
state and upheld the constitutionality of
the Albert law, under whicn the actions
were commenced last June.
T. A. Donahue, attorney tor one of the
defendants announced he Immediately will
appeal to tbe apreme court on the con
stitutional questions.
The suits are those of the state on tha
relation of County Attorney Janes P.
English, against Antonio Ladrotta as
realty owner and Grace Woods as pro
prietor and Joseph Koblberg as owner
and Minnie Harris as proprietor. T. A.
Donahue represented Kohlborg and Miss
Harris and 'Will H. Thompson LaOrotte
and Miss Woods.
Defendants Pay Coat.
Under Judge Kennedy's ruling the costs
of the actions are taxed to the de
fendants. The law itself provides that
property owners who are defeated In
Albert suits shall be assessed a special
tax of tm
The decision permanently enjoins the
defendants. Kohl berg and LaQrotta, from
renting or leasing the properties involved
for immoral purposes and from leasing
any property anywhere In the Judicial
district for such purposes. They are not
restrained, however, from leasing for
legitimate purposes either the Involved
properties or others. The defendants,
Harris and Woods, are permanently en-
Joined from conducting disorderly houses
anywhere In the Judicial district. Kohl
berg is the defendant who will appeal.
The contentions cf the defendants,
which Judge KsnneJy overruled by his
action, were that:
Argwnent ef Defease.
"The Injunctions should not' Issue be
cause one of the nuisances was abated
before the suit was commenced and one
was abated before suit came to hearing,
and, therefore, there was nothing to en
Join. '
"The notions were In the nature of
criminal proceedings and the law Is un
constitutional in that I it deprives a de
fendant In a - criminal case of trial by
Jury.
"The section providing for the $300 spe
cial tax , provides for depriving persons
of property without due. process of law."
Judge Kennedy holds .the points , on
constitutionality are not,. well, taken and
that the court may , enjoin ' defendants
from wrongdoing In the future as well as
from wrongdoing In the present. -

Outcast Attempts
Happy Land Flight
Down to his last nlckle and with no
hope of future prosperity, James Arm
strong, a Kamas City outcast, reasoned
with himself that life was not worth
while, and he decided to circumvent New
Year's resolutions by taking a short cut
to happyland. .He chose what occurred to
him tbe most pleasant method of suicidal
flight. At 11:90 o'clock yeaterdsy he
entered the Btara and Stripes saloon at
Thirteenth and Douglas streets and with
last nickel negotiated the purchase of a
giasa ox oeer. into tne amber riuld he
emptied twe ounees of carbolic add, and
then swallowed the decoction. The doc-'
tors at the hospital say he will recover.
